Chapter 4 Epilogue

Healers, once they took their oaths, never stayed in one
place for more than a year or two. They were assigned to regions, and rotated
regularly so they could learn new things and share that knowledge with each
other.

The Healer in Dilest had nearly forgotten about the boy with
the fever when he was called to the side of an old fisherman. The man had a
slight fever, and shallow cough, nothing unusual. The Healer took the diseases
into himself, then went home to recover. He awoke the next morning to a pounding
on his door. The fisherman's fever had come back, even worse than before, and now there were small red sores covering his arms and chest. And three other
people in the village had fallen ill.

He didn't dare do another Healing so close to his last, but
he went to inspect the sick. A young girl. A middle aged man. A teenage boy. All
from different households, all different ages, all with the same symptoms. The
Healer returned home and contacted the other Healers and and seers who had been
watching for the plague. His message was short. "It has begun. Send
help."
